VIJAYAWADA: In a shocking incident Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh YS Jagan Mohan Reddy was injured when an unidentified person pelted a stone akin to a cat ball hurled by using a catapult when he was passing through Vijayawada as part of his ‘Memantha Siddham’ bus yatra.
Chief Minister was hit by the stone near Vivekananda School centre in Singhnagar. He was injured just above the left eyebrow, resulting in a deep gash. He was fortunate that the stone missed the eye by few centimenters.
MLA Vellampalli, who is next to CM Jagan, also sustained an injury in his left eye.
YS Jagan was waving at the cheering crowds when the incident occurred. He was immediately rushed down into the caravan where Doctors immediately attended to him, provided first aid to him and declared that he was out of any danger. YS Jagan then continued his bus journey.
Meanwhile, Vijayawada YSRCP leaders alleged the hand of TDP activists for the dastardly attack.
